- Comment on A good video about a deep dive into protein in the new "protein fad" 1 day ago:
I’ve been trying to change my diet to eat less sugar, and trying to substitute it with more nutritious and particularly protein rich foods, and this issue has been driving me insane. Basically anything pre-made in any form is filled with sugar, and that goes double for things advertised as nutritious or protein-rich.
- Comment on [Gamers Nexus] How Razer Screws Customers | Hardware, Software, & Support Failures 2 weeks ago:
Their older stuff was absolutely great. Theres a reason I tried to replace my original Logitech mouse with a duplicate twice. Its their more recent stuff (and esspecially more recent software) that has fallen off in quality.
- Comment on [Gamers Nexus] How Razer Screws Customers | Hardware, Software, & Support Failures 2 weeks ago:
The only reason they’re still so common is that you could swap out “Razer” in your comment with 90% of the other gaming or performance brands and it would be just as true if not moreso. I had to swap to razer after I had two Corsair mice fail in as many months, and what seemed like a software bug kill three Logitech mice (One I had been using previously, and two more bought to replace it, which were broken out of the box).

So far as I know, there aren’t a lot of 8-player local multiplayer games. The only obvious answer is the Jackbox games, using your phones as controllers.
Beyond that, I did find this Steam curator, who seems to specialize in 8-player games. From thier list, I recognize Gang Beasts, and Pico Park: Classic Edition. Party Golf, Screen Cheat, and Cobalt also all looked interesting, but I’ve never seen anyone play them.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think Boomerang Fu or Overcooked support 8 players?

When you’re talking about a difference of 9 Google Searches, or an LED bulb running for 15 minutes, or running an AC unit for about a second, yes its not much.

Embarrassed? No.
Annoyed/mad? Maybe a bit?
It does feel like its a boundary violation, and inconsiderable to both you and the woman to suprise you and force a specifc date and time on you like that. At the same time, you didn’t do anything wrong, and if the opportunity has presented itself, and you areinterested in dating, its still worth it to go.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
The economy is terrible with both hardware and software becoming more expensive, theres a good selection of free and long-lifetime games (be it live-service or just very long and replayable), and a lot of the newer paid games have become worse.
I’d be significantly more suprised if this wasn’t the case.
- Comment on Anon tries running live USB Linux on his dad's computer 1 month ago:
The main problem is it turning itself on with no input from or feedback to the user, and not giving the user access to the key without using a Microsoft account. I’ve heard of people getting screwed by this because they set up with a local account and thus never got their secureboot key (or did, but it was hidden somewhere and they were never told to save it).

Given that you’re on a two day old account, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.
.ml is notoriously run by, and has a large population of tankies - people who support China and Russia, and defend or deny their countless atrocities. I.E. people who deny the Tiananmen Square Massacre, and say Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and all the war crimes they’ve committed are justified.
- Comment on Why do neurotypicals like AI slop? 1 month ago:
Its not normally sought out, in fact, its nearly the opposite. If you don’t filter what you search for and you just mindlessly scroll on most social media, its low effort slop (AI and not) that you end up with.
Its in the same vien as most mobile games - Most people download the first thing that catches their eye on the app store (part of why top grossing is so prominently featured) and if it holds their attention at all, they keep playing. They’re not looking for good games, they’re looking for something to reduce boredom on their bus ride.

Tl;dr: Mastercard syas didn’t “force” Valve to remove nsfw games. It just told them that if they didn’t remove the games that were complained about by Collect Shout, they’ll block them.

- Comment on Why do neurotypicals like AI slop? 1 month ago:
Aside from what others are saying, I think you’re also making a mistake in interpreting people’s interest in generative AI. Most people making/using AI art aren’t looking for “good art”, they’re looking for a “good enough asset” to fufill a niche they don’t or can’t value. For example, a small buisness owner might use AI to create their logo. It won’t be good, but its only competing with what they can draw as a non-artist. It only needs to be passable, not good. In the same vein from the viewer perspective, they often aren’t looking for something high-quality or thought provoking (esspecially on a platform like Tik-Tok). Generally, people scrolling on Tik-Tok aren’t looking for something good, they’re looking for something mindless to distract them, thus the emphasis on mindless scrolling over guided or curated content.
- Comment on Whatever happened to the blockchain/smart contract 'revolution' we were told about? 1 month ago:
The vast majority of it was driven by speculation and outright scams. The few who were genuinely trying to make a currency couldn’t make something competitve with existing systems, as they all ended up with the same problems and then some. Usually, blockchain based systems are very slow, expensive, centralized (in who has control over it), hard to regulate, and insecure.
- Comment on Which of theses games should i play? 1 month ago:
In my opinion Luanti is a living proof that top-down extensibility aka “we make monolithic engine in C++ and then provide some APIs for scripting via bindings for some scripting language on the side” doesn’t work well. You can’t change main menu, you can’t fix player controller (and the default one sucks), you can’t write your own renderer, etc. Because developers didn’t imagine someone would want that (actually they probably did, but they simply don’t have capacity to provide this). Good extensibility/modability should be automatic, on binary level. Like what you get by developing in bytecode/JIT-compiled languages like Java/C# or in old Unreal Engines where everything was done in bytecode-(de)compilable special language called Unreal Script.
- Comment on Which of theses games should i play? 1 month ago:
Assuming you’d have to re-buy Minecraft, I’d.say at least give Luanti a try. At the bery least, Its free.
That said, personally, I had too many issues with it. Specifically, I had performance issues, found that the graphics that looked worse (subjectively) and were much harder to modify, and kept running into roadblocks that were annoying to fix, like having to figure out how to grant myself permissions for a bunch of different actions.
- Comment on Which of theses games should i play? 1 month ago:
While Luanti is much more accessible for modding, isn’t it more limitted? Maybe the documentation was just out of date or that, but I was trying to look into custom shaders as well as optimization mods (since I was getting suttering on block updates) a year ago or so, but from what I saw at the time, there wasn’t any way to modify these.
- Comment on Is there an RSS feed for War Thunder updates? 1 month ago:
Looks like it has an RSS feed in the patches section that will do the job if needed, but it also includes a lot of tiny patches that don’t have changelogs and don’t even show up in Steam or Gaijin’s main news sections. It also doesn’t help that it uses a copy of the patchnotes with some iffy formatting, but again, I can work with it in leau of a better option.

- Comment on How active is too active while being on lemmy? 1 month ago:
People sometimes get annoyed if its an overwheming amount posted at once, in one place but generally you’re fine. If you want a rough guideline, I’d say to keep it to three posts per community per day, unless its busy enough that you can blend in to the crowd.
- Comment on Are password managers secure to use? 1 month ago:
To oversimplify:
Very secure passwords written on paper and stored safely > Local password manager using secure passwords > cloud/synced password manager with secure passwords > anything with insecure passwords.
The trick is, will you actually maintian these security practices or will you start getting lazy if its too inconvenient (such as using a long password, and having to manually type it out).

Very secure passwords written on a piece
- Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed 2 months ago:
From what I understand, they’ve moved on from that structure. I believe that was one of the things talked about after the release of HL:A, with one of the employees saying that it was part of the reason the game actually got finished. That said, its been a while and even assuming I’m not misremembering information rarelt leaves Valve, so I could be wrong.
- Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed 2 months ago:
As much as I like Valve’s work, I don’t think thats a good fit for them. Their staff seem to enjoy working on difficult technical tasks, and lose interest very fast when it comes to mundane maintenance, thus their numerous underutilized and unmaintained features throughout Steam and their games. A payment processor seems like exactly the sort of thing that would get forgotten about a month or two after it gets finished.
- Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed 2 months ago:
Same thing applies, but the article suggests that its probably PayPal in this case.
- Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed 2 months ago:
Not suprising, and given the nature of most of the games removed, debatably reasonable, but it still highlights the need to reduced reliance on the few big American payment processors like PayPal.
